Holiday rentals with a fireplace in Reykjavík

1) Elin’s house is perfect to stay in because of its artistic deco, fully equipped kitchen, stunning ocean view, easy access to a large lawn in the back, and perfect layout for us, a family of four. 2) It’s also at an excellent location: walking distance for a stroll by the ocean, a bite to eat at local bakery or grocery store. Less than 10 minutes drive to downtown Reykjavik for more restaurant options. And a convenient base for our day trips as well. 3) It’s spotless clean which we greatly appreciated. Our whole family couldn’t have been more pleased with the experience. Highly recommended. Thank you, Elin!

Our stay at Sonja's was wonderful, the apartment itself was incredibly spacious, clean and had plenty of utensils for us to use if we wanted to cook at home rather than eat out. The location was perfect, around a 10 minute walk from the main shopping street in the city, about two minutes from the sea (with some incredible views!) and around 5 minutes from three large grocery stores. Parking was incredibly easy as described, lots of free on street parking in the area. Checking in/out was incredibly easy and our host was happy for us to check in early if we had arrived early. When we come back to Reykjavik I'll definitely be keeping an eye out for this property first to see if it's available!

This place was perfect! 4 adult and 4 kids. It was absolutely beautiful home and the owners were so responsive and helpful. The house is walking distance to food markets and some restaurants and only 20 min drive from downtown Reykjavik. Walking trails all along the area. We could not have picked a better place to stay for our visit to Iceland, highly recommend this place!

What a great place. We really enjoyed our stay here. Lots of room for everyone and such a great location - not far out of the city but very peaceful and beautiful. The favourite of the Air Bnb's we booked for our Iceland trip!

The house is very big, the host introduced the house to me very warmly, and the facilities are complete. The location of the house is good and there is a parking lot. We had a great stay.

We loved this place. It was nice and quiet. A great home base for our Iceland day trips.

Good place to stay near downtown.

The house is much larger than expected and set in a lovely neighbourhood, close to a fantastic pool only 10 mins away. Unfortunately we didn’t get to use the hot tub as the weather was pretty bad on our trip, but the location is great. Easy walk into town (30mins) or close to bus stops which run like clockwork! You can also walk 45 mins along the coast to the geothermal beach which we loved! The only thing I would say is to bring an eye mask in summer as the nights stay light and the curtains are not black out. Thanks for letting us stay in your beautiful home and letting us feel like locals!

Great stay. We were visiting family and this house was convenient for us. Recommend.

Thank you so much for sharing your home! We had a fantastic stay. Everything was exactly as pictured. Home is on a bus route. Easy to get around. We are especially loved the wireless phone charger which was a lifesaver as we forgot about a European plug converter for the outlets. Would definitely stay again. Thank you!

Andri’s place was exactly as advertised. Clean, spacious and modern with very comfortable beds. Great hosts who were very responsive. A short drive to Reykjavik. Would definitely recommend.

Very warm house,comfortable you have supermarkets and a very quiet area. The location is great for taking trips outside Reykjavik. Loved it!

Kristin’s place was absolutely amazing! It was just what our family of four needed for the holidays. Amazing views from the house over looking the bay and the city lights at night. Super comfy beds, and heated bathroom floors!! Thank you so much Kristin for hosting us we will definitely be recommending your place to others whom plan to travel to Iceland.

Beautiful apartment, really bright and spacious. Location was good with parking outside and within walking distance of main centre. Ingunn was very accommodating and gave lots of local recommendations. We really enjoyed the weekend stay!

The apartment is in a great central location and has lots of space inside. There is also a dedicated parking spot which is very helpful

Helga place is amazing... With a large TV by a fireplace... Her home is beautifully decorated with very good amenities... Very comfortable as well.

Wonderful place to stay! This house provided all of the amenities we needed for our family of six of various ages. We had a fantastic trip together to Iceland and the hosts were friendly, helpful and responsive to our questions.

Hrafn's home was a great place to stay for our first visit to Iceland. Centrally located in Reykjavik, just minutes from the downtown area.

We had a fantastic stay at this property! The house boasts a stunning modern design with lots of natural light, and it's located in a peaceful yet convenient area. The garden and pool were highlights, providing a perfect space to relax and unwind. The kitchen was well-equipped, making it easy to cook meals, and there was plenty of space for everyone to feel comfortable. Our host, Sigridur, was incredibly helpful and accommodating, ensuring we had everything we needed for a great stay. Highly recommended for a relaxing getaway!

We absolutely loved every second of our stay at Eugenias beautiful home. From the gorgeous exterior to the perfect layout to the sauna/hottub/cold plunge with the babbling stream running alongside. Magical! The setting was incredibly stunning and was truly one of our favorite views in all of Western Iceland. Close enough to Reykjavik while still feeling a world away. How lucky we felt to call it home each day we returned from exploring. Traveling as a family of five with three young children (9, 7, 6) we were also grateful for the lovely amenities (legos!) that made our time at home extra enjoyable for the kids. Enjoying a coffee each morning with the incredible views of the snow capped mountains was such a treat as was a night of Northern Lights! We've traveled to many Airbnbs across the world and Eugenia tops the list as the most helpful, kind, thoughtful host we've encountered. Being able to stay in her home felt so authentically Iceland and made for the most memorable trip!

Due to a pilot strike our flights were canceled so we never had the chance to visit. That said, the host was very helpful and communication was great throughout the process.

My family of seven had a great stay at Lilja's house during the National Day and summer solstice week June 16-26. Comfortable beds, attractive living area. Beautiful views of the ocean. Quiet, pretty neighborhood convenient to driving downtown and for day trips. Private yard. Everything new and clean. Friendly reception when we arrived and given a tour of the house. Good blackout shades for the midnight sun. One important note, three of the beds were advertised as "queen" but they were actually "double" for what we are used to in America. We supplemented with two foam mattresses on the floor. Also, the house is not suitable for those having trouble with stairs--my 85-year-old mother found this challenging. We enjoyed the Blue Lagoon, Perlan (The Pearl) museum, the food walking tour of Reykjavik from (Wake up Reykjavik with Thor), a Golden Circle tour that including snowmobiling on a glacier (Arctic Adventures with Palmi). We also did our own day trips in a rental van. Blue Diamond (sights around KEF airport) including views of lava cliffs, geysers, lava tunnel, and quaint fishing villages with lighthouses. Southern route included ferry ride to Westmann Islands for Volcano/Puffin tour (Eyja tours with Eddi), visit to black sand beach with amazing rock formations, and a walk behind a major waterfall. Also the west Iceland peninsula had amazing sights. I would definitely recommend this home to others. It is optimal for a couple and five single people, but doable for seven with the foam mattresses on the floor.

Enjoyed our stay surrounded by vast farm land and a peace of mind.

Stayed here with 3 families. The scenery is beautiful and the house is clean and comfortable. Hot tub was awesome! Lots to do within an hour drive but need to plan for food and grocery shopping while you are out, there’s nothing within a several min drive. We did have some trouble initially with getting to the property, but plug in the coordinates on maps. Also some issue with getting through the outer gate but Heimaleiga was responsive, you have to call them initially to open the gate and then there is a mobile phone you can use for the rest of your stay. There is a travel brochure that they will send you through Air B N B with a ton of info about the place but I didn’t get mine until after we had arrived. I think this would have helped. We were there in mid August and the bedroom got very hot at night, we had to open the windows but there are no screens on the windows so a bunch of flies got in. Screens on at least some of the windows would be my biggest recommendation!
